The international break is upon us, but there are under two months before the January transfer window opens again and teams are already being linked with new signings.

Tottenham became the first club since the transfer window system was implemented in 2003 to not make a summer signing this year, so they will be hoping to do some business come the new year. Mousa Dembele has been linked with a move to China or Italy - will Spurs allow the Belgian to go in January?

Elsewhere, West Ham opened the chequebook in the summer, and may dip into the market again. With Andriy Yarmolenko sustaining a serious injury, the Hammers could look to strengthen their attack to reduce their reliance on top scorer Marko Arnautovic.

Arsenal continue to be linked with various wingers, with Lille's Nicolas Pepe reported to be of interest to the Gunners.

What's next for Paul Pogba at Manchester United? Will Ruben Loftus-Cheek remain a Chelsea player or seal a loan move away? And what of Aaron Ramsey's Arsenal future? Could Unai Emery's side cash in on the Welshman before the summer?

Here we'll guide you through the day's top transfer rumours from around the world.

Nelson eyes 'legend' status

Reiss Nelson says he wants to become a legend at Arsenal and has again hinted he could return to his ‘boyhood club’ as early as January.

The 18-year-old is currently on loan with Hoffenheim where he has enjoyed a stunning start to the season, scoring six Bundelisga goals in just seven appearances.

We had some really big offers from Asia, there were some crazy offers. But for Mesut, money was by no means the biggest factor.

Money is definitely one important thing to consider, but people must remember that footballing ability is just one aspect of a contract negotiation. The commercial impact of a footballer is crucial nowadays.

Mesut has the biggest social media following of any player in the Premier League and I just read that his shirt numbers [sales] were the largest at the club.

At the end of the day, this is all information that has to be taken into consideration.

So, the commercial side is very big with a player like Mesut, who has played in different countries and was the No. 10 of the national team, where he won the World Cup.

His market is worldwide. The club makes money out of these players as well, but it came down to what was in his heart.

We were free to sign with other clubs and in the end Mesut loves the club. I put everything to him and he just said, ‘This is my home, I want to be here’.

Arnautovic open to move away from West Ham

Marko Arnautovic has admitted he is open to leaving West Ham in order to fulfil his dream of Champions League football.

Despite being happy in east London, the Austrian forward knows he only has a few years left to secure a move to one of Europe’s top clubs.

He told the Austrian newspaper Kurier:

I’m 29, so that’s the best age. It’s clear that I want to compete with the best players. But in this affair I totally trust my brother.

Arnautovic’s agent - his brother Danijel - said:

He’s already playing in the Premier League and that’s where the best players are. But for a player like Marko this cannot be the end.

He’s a big part of West Ham’s team but I think it’s possible to tease out more of him. For that to happen, he has to play for a top team. Marko is ready for the next step.

A player like him should not play against relegation. He should play for the international spots.

Marko is really enjoying playing for West Ham. He loves that club and the fans. But there is still that feeling, that this cannot be the end. And everybody should understand that.

The Hammers forward was closely linked with a move to Manchester United last summer and his brother admits a switch was “very, very close last summer.”

Alisson reveals how Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has helped take him to the next level

Alisson has hailed the impact the Jurgen Klopp has had on his impressive start to life at Liverpool:

The Premier League is such an intense league. As I’ve said before you have to be always very focused. I’m here in a very high level club, a club able to win titles and doing this at the same level of teams ahead of us. It’s us, City, Chelsea.

That’s a big challenge for me, being always fit, as I know my team is always at a high level and you have to be ready for it, to be at the same level as your team. I’m growing with what Klopp brings to the pitch.

He’s very smart, he leaves us at ease to do what we know the most, what we like to do, that is to play great football.

To build the game from the beginning, from the goalkeeper. That’s so important, the confidence he gives to us on the pitch.

This way we can go for our goals. We know they are difficult ones but we want to be champions.

Scholes tips City to emulate Arsenal's Invincibles

Paul Scholes says Manchester City can go the entire Premier League season unbeaten.

The former Manchester United midfielder watched City beat his old side 3-1 in the derby on Sunday.

And he believes Pep Guardiola’s side are good enough to emulate Arsenal’s ‘Invincibles’ of 2003/04.

The more you look at the City team, I don’t see where they’re going to get beat.

I think Liverpool will probably be the closest, but I just think they [City] are that good, they are in control.

You look at the bench as well today. [Gabriel] Jesus, not brought on, a brilliant centre-forward, [Ilkay] Gundogan, they bring on, scores a goal. They’ve just got quality in every position.
